Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken livers
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Clean the chicken livers by removing any connective tissues and ensuring they are free of any green or yellow bile spots.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil with minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, and thyme. Add salt and black pepper.
Add the cleaned chicken livers to the marinade and mix until they are well coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal and allow it to become lightly grey and glowing.
Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking using a brush or paper towel dipped in olive oil.
Remove the chicken livers from the marinade and place them on the grill. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. They are done when firm to the touch and no longer pink inside.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice with freshly chopped parsley.
Once the chicken livers are grilled, remove them from the heat and immediately drizzle the lemon and parsley mixture on top.
Serve hot as an appetizer or a main dish, paired with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal.
